YouTube motovlogger - Itchy Boots

[kbear]

Let me preface this by saying if the forum mods think this should be removed I'm okay with that.

Okay. I realize that a lot of the RCT members here are not into motorcycles, I get it. I have a close friend who won't even talk about motorcycles. However, I follow, and have followed, a number of YouTube motovloggers over the years. One motovlogger I'd like to introduce you to is a young Dutch girl from the Netherlands named Noraly and her YouTube channel is called Itchy Boots. I've been following her almost from the beginning of her adventures. I really enjoy following her adventures, but the main reason that keeps me watching is her personality. She is always upbeat and her attitude is so infectious. You can't help but watch in anticipation of what will happen next. What is really amazing is she does all this by herself alone with NO crew or backup. I would give you an entire background history of her life but that would take too long. Just know that she was an accomplished geoscientist working around the world before she left all that to ride around the world on motorcycle adventures. As I mentioned I would love to fill you in on all her inner workings but well. I wouldnt bring this up if I didn't think there might be some interest in following her adventures. I hooked many individuals on her channel even NON motorcycle interested people.

The end of last season found her crashing and breaking her collarbone in Africa. She had to wait for two weeks before returning to the Netherlands to have surgery to repair the injury only to have the surgeon there poke a hole in her lung during surgery. She's not made very many YouTube videos this summer while trying to heal.

One other reason I bring this up is she's getting ready to start season 8 and just posted a video about the new to her motorcycle she will be riding this season. She always names her motorcycles. So, if you're interested now would be a good time to start at the beginning of a new season of adventure. I really think you would enjoy her work she really does a great job at what she does. Below are a couple videos that may give you some idea what she is about. Hope you enjoy and follow her as she travels the world.

Most memorable moments of 60,000 km. This video gives you a good idea of what her videos are about. Good to watch to get a feel for what she does.

Her very first YouTube video

She seems cool!
I was with her on the ground in that vid. I have crashed, hard, too.
It was actually somewhat emotional.
I will watch more while I have time.
Thanks for the post!

You and all members here are very welcome for the introduction to Noraly. Yeah, she is pretty damn cool for sure! She has a lot more guts than I. I've been in a much worse crash than her on my dirt bike many years ago, but I can sure empathize. And yes, I was with her there on the ground too.

If you happen to become a follower I hope you enjoy her work. She does work extremely hard on entertaining her YouTube followers with some fun and interesting adventures. Until she gets the new season started she will post a new video every Sunday, but when she gets started she'll post Sunday and Wednesday of every week. At least that's what she has been doing.

She has written a book about her adventures in Dutch and waiting to find a publisher in the US to publish in English. I look forward to reading it indeed.

Again, you're very welcome.

I certainly don't want to become a pest regarding Noraly's YouTube Channel, but I hope if you're watching her, you like her work. One of the items that really impresses me is her drone videography. The drone shots can really give you a sense of what the ride she's on really looks like. She does do some amazing video editing. If you're following her that's great: I hope you enjoy. No, I don't recieve any monetary compensation for promoting her YouTube channel .

I rode for many years, mainly sport bikes...hung it up after I almost t-boned the side of a teen driver that pulled out in front of me. My reaction and "skills" saved me and my bike, but it could have been deadly for me.

I love bikes, God just told me as I rode home that it was time, sold the bike the next week.

Love seeing empowered women out adventuring on two wheels!

I've been in some pretty close calls, both on road and off, but nothing to keep me from riding motorcycles. I can certainly understand where you're coming from!

I too enjoy seeing women taking chances and doing what they really want and enjoy doing. Noraly has really taken life by the horns and running with it. She is definitely an inspiration to a lot of people.
